Testimonial for Jamilah Muhayman
I want to start by saying I was pregnant during Covid, so that in itself was hard. There were so many limitations to who could be in hospital and how many people et cetera. I opted for a doula because this was my first child and with all the demands of Covid I needed someone that I know could help me overcome the stress of the unknown. Jamilah was amazing! She had so much knowledge and was able to walk me through a birthing plan, that included things I would've never known to ask about or think of. Now the main reason having a doula was a dream is because I had preclampsia and delivered 4 weeks early and Jamilah was there every step of the way and made it less scary. She also made the delivery room a relaxing environment for myself and nurses as most walked into the room wondering what smelled so good! It was the essential oils, again something I wouldn't have thought about, but made all the difference. Having a doula was so special and I recommend Jamilah for anyone that is thinking about getting one. She's knowledge, she can be an advocate but allows you to think through what was previously discussed and she can help you breath through 19 hours of labor before an emergency c-section. Regardless, I highly recommend Jamilah! Again I could thank her enough. Thank you.
